THANKSGIVING!

AWESOME NEWS PEOPLE
MY GRANDMA ACCEPTED CHRIST! A MIRACULOUS MIRACLE!!!!!!

I'm witnessing God's miraculous work in my midst right now. so awesome that my hands are trembling as I type.
My grandma few weeks back fell down and ended in the hospital. following she had respiratory problem and even went to ICU. thank God she was stable soon after. but on the 23rd she had a stroke in the middle of the night. everyone was shocked cause she was doing well. she could walk around on her own and even joke with the nurse.
went to visit her late at night with my mum and sis after my mum ended work that day. her left body was weak and she has little control over it. she was asleep when we were there.
so heartbreaking to see her in that state, with a tissue under her head as she lays side ways because she drools uncontrollably.
we were asked to leave as it was close to 12 midnight. I was prompted by God to stay and pray for her. so I mum and aunt was outside and I get my sis along to join me as I hold my grandma's hand and prayed a simple prayer. for God to heal her, protect her, be there for her comfort and be real to her.

the next day my grandaunty who is a christian brought her pastor to visit her. even though grandma had a stroke she is still conscious and is able to respond to what others ask her. so they prayed for her and asked her if she wants to believe in Christ. AND OMG SHE SAID YES!
following when my grandaunty asked my grandma, "now you know you're saved, you must get well and lead your children to Christ." AND ONCE AGAIN SHE SAID YES! 

this is so unbelievable! God answered all our prayers! I hope this can be a testimony that will impact my whole family and others who hear of this significantly.
this is my best Christmas present. thank You Lord!

Confirm with Joshua your attendance & no. of friends you'll be bringing, last but not least, the type of food you'll be bringing! This is to avoid repetition, I'm sure we don't want trays of beehoon that can cater for more than 200 people. In addition, each of us has to bring a present for gift exchange, of not more than $10. Alright, let's look forward to it! :)

Registration has started, & will end on 13th Dec. Please confirm with Sophia your attendance by this week, & bring along the money. Since you guys will be very busy on the 12th Dec with Sweat-Eat-Out, there won't be time to collate attendance and the collection of money. So to make things easier, let's get it done as early as possible! Yeah, your friends are welcome :D


Lastly, THANK GOD for an awesome youth camp! See you guys on Saturday :D



Love,
Sophia

Hey BFC. Prayer requests:

Sophia
Breakthrough among youths during youth camp, and all programmes to run smoothly.
Need strength from the Lord as I'll be very busy for the next two weeks.

Jasmine
More time to enjoy and to spend it wisely

Daryl
Thank God that my plants are growing well. Thank God for everything I've learnt in life.
Pray that I will not procrastinate and be able to endure the last lap. Pray for a fruitful and enriching time at camp for everyone.

Ivan
Pray for enough time to finish school work that's due on the coming monday

--------------------------------------------------
Just like to let all of you know that you're kept by the prayers of people. Even our precious Jesus is ever interceding for us..

Romans 8:34 Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.

(In context: Romans 8:28-39) Let us take some time, no matter how busy we are, to reflect on Christ's love for us.. It's just so amazing that we should keep going back to it no matter how old we are. Let us not take His love for granted. (:

Have a great week ppl! And see you guys for camp! Pray for a heart of expectancy for God to touch your heart this camp! (:

Jace

Keep the rest in prayers as they battle against the 'A' levels! For WanHui, Joe, Uncle KK & Auntie Sharon (unless she's still on maternity leave haha), to have great favour at their workplace. That's all, hope to see the smiles in your faces right after As! :)

Sophia
